Robotic Approach Offers Similar Nodal Upstaging to Open Lobectomy for Clinical Stage I NSCLC.
Appropriate nodal dissection during pulmonary resection improves pathologic staging accuracy. Detection of unexpected nodal metastases can be a surrogate for nodal dissection adequacy and reflect oncologic resection quality. The...
Read MoreProteomics analysis of tumor exosomes reveals vital pathways of Jinfukang inhibiting circulating tumor cells metastasis in lung cancer.
Jinfukang has long been used for the clinical treatment of lung cancer. Previous studies have shown that Jinfukang can induce the apoptosis of circulating tumor cells by intervening ROS-mediated DNA damage pathway. However,...
Read MoreMolecular correlates of response to capmatinib in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: clinical and biomarker results from a Phase I trial.
Dysregulation of receptor tyrosine kinase MET by various mechanisms occurs in 3-4% of NSCLC and is associated with unfavorable prognosis. While MET is a validated drug target in lung cancer the best biomarker strategy for...
Read MoreExercise-Mediated Lowering of Glutamine Availability Suppresses Tumor Growth and Attenuates Muscle Wasting.
Glutamine is a central nutrient for many cancers, contributing to the generation of building blocks and energy-promoting signaling necessary for neoplastic proliferation. In this study, we hypothesized that lowering systemic...
